Periodically check that all nuts, bolts and other fixings are properly tightened.

Do not store materials or equipment above a machine in such a way that they could fall into it.

Always ensure that your work is on the table. Never use the tool to cut pieces that are not on the table.

Do not place your hands in awkward positions where one or both may slip suddenly and touch the saw blade.

When working with a long work piece, use an additional support such as a saw table to prevent the blade from grabbing the work.

When cutting round wood, use clamps that prevent the work piece from turning on the table.

There must be no nails or other foreign bodies in that part of the work piece you want to cut.

Always stand to the side of the saw blade when working with the saw.

Never load the machine so much that it slows down and over-heats.

Never saw several work pieces simultaneously.

Use the push stick provided with the tool when cutting along or across narrow work pieces.

Never remove loose splinters, chips or jammed pieces of wood when the saw blade is running.

To rectify faults or remove jammed pieces of wood, always switch off the machine first and remove the mains plug!

Adjustments, measurements and cleaning jobs are to be performed only when the motor is switched off and the mains plug removed!

Before you switch on the machine, check that all wrenches and adjustment tools have been removed.

When you leave your workplace, switch off the motor and pull out the power plug.

All guards and safety devices have to be refitted immediately after completion of any repairs or maintenance.

It is imperative to observe the accident prevention regulations in force in your area as well as all other generally recognised rules of safety.
